Components in the service unit 220 may be configured in software or hardware as necessary.

The user terminals 110,..., 120 may be one of various terminals such as a personal computer, a PDA, a mobile phone, and the like, capable of internet.

Hereinafter will be described in detail with respect to the operation of the item barter system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart of an item bartering method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, when a user executes a web browser embedded in the user terminal 110, the web browser connects the user terminal 110 to the internet network 300. When a user inputs a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that can be accessed to receive an item barter service on the web browser of the user terminal 110, the user terminal 110 may access the web server 210 through the Internet network 300. (S201).

Thereafter, the web server 210 provides the web pages of the web page unit 233 to the terminal 110 and receives the ID (ID) and password data input by the user, and the member database 234. Member authentication is performed based on comparison with the member ID and password stored in the ID.

As a result of the comparison, if the member is not a member, the web server 210 registers a member through a predetermined form of the web page unit 233. This membership process is well known in the art and thus detailed descriptions are omitted.

After the member authentication is completed, the web server 210 transmits the web page of the web page unit 233 to the terminal 110 to display various service menus and information, and the member selects a desired menu (S202).

When the member applies for registration of barter through the terminal 110, the information registration unit 221 receives the barter from the terminal 110 and information about the desired item (S203) barter The data is stored in the database 232 (S204). At this time, the registration screen is shown in Figure 3, the registration information items to be exchanged, items to be exchanged, and other items, their contact information is already registered in the membership registration information. The item selection may be input directly or by using information stored in the quote database 231 in advance.

On the other hand, when a member requests a barter by searching for barter items registered by another member through the terminal 110, the barter 222 receives a selection of an item to be searched as shown in FIG. 4 (S205). At this time, the item selection is made up of a game name, a server name, an item name, a detailed item selection of the item, and when the search is executed, the terminal 110 displays the search result from the barter database 232 based on the selected items. .

Then, the barter 222 retrieves the registered information registered to exchange the selected item from the barter database 232 and provides the bartered information including the item price (S206).

At this time, the searched result screen is as shown in FIG. 5, and includes registered information, game money price, and cash price of the corresponding item. Therefore, it is possible to determine which of the registered information is advantageous.

When the corresponding item is clicked on the search result screen (S207), the barter unit 222 displays the details of the selected item as shown in FIG. 6 (S208).

Then, when the member makes an exchange request (S209), the barter 222 transfers the exchange request to the registrant using the contact unit 224. (S210) In the case of an e-mail transmission unit 225 In the form of a screen as shown in FIG. In addition, in the case of a note, the message function unit 227 notifies the content, and in the case of a short message, the SMS function unit 226 notifies the content.

In addition, the barter 222 transmits the registrant's registration details and the registrant's contact information to the applicant using the contact unit 224.

The applicant and registrant then meet and barter.

In this case, when one of the items is cash, if one of the items is completed after giving the item, the barter 222 gives a counterpart corresponding to the cash to the counterpart, and the points are similar in cash and utility.

On the other hand, if the selected menu is My Page, i.e., if the user who has bartered is selected to input the result, the barter 222 displays the member's current barter list on the terminal 110 of the member. (S211), the member selects a check mark on the barter item is completed in the list (S212).

Then, the barter 222 updates the barter information of the members of the barter database 232 and the member database 234 to completion (S213).

In addition, the price manager 223 updates the price database 231 by updating the price of the item by averaging the items for which bartering is performed within a predetermined range for a predetermined period of time.

The web screens in the above process may be modified in various ways, and may be modified into other types of screens having the same function as necessary.

The present invention is only one embodiment, and many modifications may be made to the components within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited only to the embodiments.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention as described above, it is possible to efficiently barter the sale of items that have been operated without a special system, and provide a reasonable price to exchange other items desired by the user with an appropriate value. Barter exchange systems and methods can be provided. In addition, the existing item trading method is not only possible to sell items when the value of the item is below a certain level, but also because there is no barter function, many game users have to trade directly in the online game.
